Termination of Pre modern awards

Fair Work Australia is currently processing the termination of old state and federal awards that applied prior to the implementation of modern awards. This process will see the termination of thousands of awards and move the system one step closer to a simpler national industrial relations system.

The termination of the old awards does not affect conditions that were preserved in modern awards from those instruments such as district allowances, redundancy provisions and accident make-up pay.

Fair Work Australia has a stand-alone webpage detailing the issues involved.
